Implementation Methodology
These
services are provided within the framework of AMT's implementation methodology. AMT's
methodology focuses on six key project phases to ensure the success of an enterprise-wide
implementation of a collaborative manufacturing process. The phases of the AMT
implementation methodology are:
Scoping: During the Scoping phase, AMT provides a clear definition of your
project, gathers high-level requirements and lays the foundation for subsequent phases.
AMT collaborates with your company during Scoping to:
 | define project boundaries
|
| identify and document project
requirements
|
| estimate the
approximate size and complexity of the project
|
| determine how the
project should be implemented
|
Planning and
Resourcing: The Planning and Resourcing phase focuses on
developing the project infrastructure, selecting project resources, identifying hardware
and software requirements, confirming project scope, creating detailed project plans and
time lines and outlining project management strategies.
Analysis and Design: The
Analysis and Design phase allows the project team to focus on the following areas to
determine where existing systems and/or processes need to be modified, enhanced,
re-engineered, integrated or replaced.
| exploring current
design engineering and manufacturing processes within the organization
|
| defining user interface and formats
|
| data mapping
|
| technical and data
library requirements, formats and locations
|
| data access requirements
|
| operational data
monitoring requirements
|
| WIP monitoring
requirements
|
| reporting requirements
|
| product release and
engineering change approval requirements
|
| process
routing/documentation/work instruction/visual aid generation and control
|
Installation and
Configuration: During the Installation and Configuration
phase the project team performs these tasks: installing necessary hardware infrastructure
(if required), configuring server, customizing user interface (if required),
standardization of technical and data libraries, approval and data management rules, and
process testing.
Deployment: The
Deployment phase of the project focuses on: deployment planning, change management,
verifying system readiness, data installation, and training of end users, and
System/Process Administrators.
Support: Once the
collaborative processes have been deployed to end-users, the Support phase is critical to
the success of the project. Within this phase, the project team defines and monitors
operating metrics to ensure that the collaborative processes are operating properly and
meet the goals defined prior to implementation.
